this afternoon.He supports
funding or asking for an IGA to fund priorities for the Junction City facility
in the Salem budget consideration for this coming session. He noted the facility
is on target to open in 2013.He
added the facility in Salem is on target to open in 2011 and when they open
their doors, they will be full. He added there will already be a backlog when
Junction City opens.He said for the
issue of the community based facilities, the patient needs are different.He said there is a need for both types of facilities in Junction City.He asked the Board to continue to endorse the project.

Jim Gillette, Eugene, recalled that last week Dwyer gave a speech.Gillette realized how hopeless his situation is in front of the Board.He thinks he is looked at as a fool or jerk.He said he was tired of it.He
asked why County Counsel themselves didnít change the constitutionality of
charging people.He thought County
Counsel jumps on the public.He said
he was convicted without a trial or hearing.He said what has been done to him has been extortion.He said he was going to work hard to publicly prove this.

3.COMMISSIONERS'
RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENTS AND/OR OTHER ISSUES AND REMONSTRANCE

Dwyer commented that in the past he thought the process for fining was a flawed
process.He said they fixed it to
make sure people in the future are not treated the way Gillette was treated.He wanted County Counsel to see if there is a process being violated or a
procedure that could be done to better serve the citizens.

Fleenor agreed with Dwyer but he stated it is difficult in practice.He said they hire County Counsel to ensure the Board complies with
ordinances and manuals.He noted in
this instance there was an ordinance and policy and procedures in place.He said they followed the process correctly and the compliance officer
used the information for a compliance action that has led to the circumstances
they are currently under.He said to
request the County Counsel to advise them of potential changes in a procedure is
overstepping their responsibility.He
said they make the decisions as to what policies and procedures they are going
to follow within the constitutional limits by the state and in this instance
they did that. He said he sees a potential lack of interest of past boards but
they took the matter into their hands and made the correction.He indicated that they started a process that is going through the
judicial system and based on what County Counsel has advised them in public and
Executive Session.He noted they now
have judgments so they have to go through the process.

Richardson announced that the ballots are due next Tuesday.She indicated that if they donít get into the mail today, then the
ballots should be placed in the drop box.

a.DISCUSSION/Update on the
Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan) Joint Elected
Officialsí Regional Issues Work Plan.

Kent Howe, Land Management, recalled at the end of 2008 the Board had five
issues they wanted the two cities in the Metro Plan to listen to and come up
with resolutions. He noted in early 2009 the Joint Elected Officials of Eugene,
Springfield and Lane County put together a subcommittee and they reported back
to the JEO in June.He noted
attachment 1 (copy in file) had the recommendations.He indicatedhat Stewart and
Handy were the two commissioners from Lane County on the subcommittee.He said the recommendations were forwarded by the JEO to the staff of
Eugene, Springfield and Lane County to work on those types of regional issues.He reported back last November and this February to the JEO.He added they will be going to the JEO on June 17.He said the purpose of this meeting is for him to report on what they
have accomplished to date, where they are at and what they are going to be
taking to the JEO on June 17.He
thought that initially work could be done on the five issues the Board of
Commissioners had that the JEO endorsed but as they have been working on them,
Springfield has been working on their HB3337 implementation and Eugene has been
working on their HB3337 implementation and they will require amendments to the
Metro Plan.He said they are going
to ask the JEO on whether there is an integration that needs to be done of the
three or four different areas that will require amendments to the Metro Plan.

Howe gave an update on the five county issues. (Copy in file).

Dwyer thought the real key is the MPC changing the dispute resolution.He said unless that is resolved, under the current process everything
goes to MPC.He doesnít want the
disagreement to stop the process.He
said they want to preserve critical farm land and open spaces.He said they need to know about the soilsoverlay to see where they are going to expand.He wanted a report on where it is they are expanding and where the
conflicts are with the farmland.

Fleenor thinks the Metro Plan is fundamentally flawed and decayed from the
inside out.He thought they should
separate the cities of Springfield and Eugene into their own comp plans so each
one will have their own identifies and move forward individually without having
all three bodies determining their fate.He
might not support it, but he wants to improve upon the product.He said his issue has been representationwith the UGB, outside of the annexed areas.He wanted an appeals process so it doesnít fall on deaf ears at the
city council.He wanted to see more
of a substantive process by which citizens in the UGB have a right to come in
and appeal versus just a discussion.

Howe explained that the main issue is the County and city would be applying the
same law.He said they have
delegated it to the cities.He said
what frustrates the citizens is urbanizing types of development canít occur
until the property has been annexed and at that time urban densities are
encouraged.He said there is
confusion because of delegation of authority

Stewart agreed that they should be working to move the Metro boundary to the UGB
and it should be sooner than later.With
regard to the urbanizable area representation, he believed they should take back
the responsibility of issuing permits within the UGB if those people havenít
been annexed into the city.He said
they should bring their zoning up to todayís zoning.He said there are areas that have remnant zones from back in the 80ís
that donít exist today.He thought
they should try to reduce the veto power and make it respective to the
jurisdictional boundaries. He didnít think the County should have a veto power
because they are partners with both of the entities.He thought for farmland and open space protection, the Board should get
the information from Howe on the work that has been done to date, considering
how the cities might meet their required needs for buildable lands and the
County should make the statement as soon as possible they are concerned about
open space, farm and forest lands in the proposals and they want to get involved
sooner than later.

Howe said with the urbanizable area, if they took the delegation back they gave
to the two cities, the concern is they would then be providing all the advice
and hand holding of the citizens who want to do something and when they go to do
it, they go to the city, get annexed and pay their fees at the city to develop
the property.He added the County
doesnít get the financial compensation for providing all of the work.He indicated that the way they have it now, the cities are the ultimate
providers of the services in the areas inside the UGB.

Handy wanted to see specific policy language in the Metro Plan updated that will
address maintaining the characteristics and the existing qualities of Santa
Clara and River Road that have been identified.He added they want to maintain those after annexation.He thought they should take back the planning by having the policy
language in the Metro Plan.

Howe commented that the city of Eugene has a challenge with the River Road Santa
Clara area.He indicated for state
law and Metro Plan policies, the Countyís role is to not allow development in
the rural area beyond where they have identified developed and committed
exception areas. Allowed.He added
the incentives of the state program and the Metro Plan are that inside an urban
growth boundary, those are areas that are developed to urban densities so they
can protectthe rural areas.He said it will be a delicate balancing act because the city of Eugene
will be operating as they want to keep large tracts undeveloped but thestatewide program is trying to densify those areas to urban densities so
they donít need additional urban growth boundary expansions into the rural
area.He said sprawl and density is
the challenge.He said they have to
plan for a 20 year horizon with UGB expansions or redevelopment and density
increases and combinations to keep it livable.

Dwyer agreed with Stewart that they are responsibilities they can assume.He said the real key is they put their citizens in a demilitarized
jurisdictional limbo.He stated that
they donít have the rights that every other citizen has because they canít
have redress to their city council.He
said something is fundamentally wrong with that concept and that is what they
need to focus on.He said they
canít force the city or any other government to say what they want their
neighborhoods to look like. He said they need to make sure they have a mechanism
to be represented.He said they need
to take back those responsibilities.

Sorenson agreed with the observation that the Metro Plan needs to encourage
early and frequent consultations between the cities and the County.He said the topic of fire districts needs to be addressed. He thought
advocates for library districts want to know if they can push a metro library
concept.He noted the Metro Plan in
the past has had a harsh view on districts.He wanted a Metro Plan policyto
reduce the number of taxing jurisdictions.

Stewart doesnít think it is going to make a difference to write into the Metro
Plan that these things need to be recognized.He thought if they took back the responsibility in the areas and putting
it on the long range work plan, they could put together a guidance policy for
the lands they have the authority over.He
doesnít see them getting to yes in a timely and possible way.He said if they take control, they put the things in place and once they
are established and do a good job of meeting the needs of the citizens, then
they as a body start engaging with the cities in having a uniform type of a
management for that area.

Fleenor thought in the long run both cities and the county would be better with
individual comp plans.

Howe commented that the Board was well prepared for the June 17 joint elected
officials meeting.He heard that the
Board wanted early and frequent consultations between the cities and the County
and on June 17 the Board has the opportunity to make that point.

Matt Laird, Land Management, reported that May 10 was the seventh meeting of the
Land Use Task Force.He indicated
they discussed developed and committed exceptions where they had not reached a
consensus to remove the existing code language.He noted there was discussion on demographics and population growth of
rural communities and how the population in Oregon is increasing but the student
enrollment in the rural schools are decreasing.He stated the primary topic of Mondayís meeting was non-resource land
designations.He commented that it
didnít appear that the process is broken.He noted they have had five applications in the past ten years.He noted the next meeting they will be discussing F1 to F2 zone changes.

DISCUSSION/EarthShare of Oregon.

Julie Daniels, Bring, discussed Earth Share.She recommended the Board pass a resolution to hold an annual combined
Earth Share and United Way campaign in 2010

Spartz stated that they would need approval of the Board.He thought unless they construe the approvals carefully, they will open
the door to numerous other requests that they may need to approve and then they
raise the workload.

Richardson noted they only charitable giving is the United Way for Lane County,
there is not an APM or Lane Manual requirement.She added that through United Way, even if a program isnít one of the
designated programs that show up on United Wayís list, they can still identify
a charitable organization to donate to.She
recalled that Earth Share came to the Board a few years ago and made the same
request and the employees were polled on whether they wanted to have an
additional campaign program go on beyond the charitable giving they already do.She stated the answer was no, because of the additional staff load it
would create.She said in the past
they have always recommended that the charities go to United Way to become one
of those organizations.She talked
to Finance and there wouldnít be a way for them to add them to be an automatic
donation for Earth Share and it would complicate the matters for employees to
donate directly to them.She noted
there is no legal prohibition to add them at the County level, but there is one
at the state level.

Stewart stated that he is on the United Way Board and will be abstain from the
vote.

Handy thought it would be good to have a choice, but they should limit it to two
organizations.He wants Earth Share
for an environmental component.

Sorenson wanted them to have an administrative policy in place where they canhave work place giving instead of just United Way.He wanted to see it broadened beyond United Way.He thought if they got into an excess of five charities that there might
be a problem.He wanted additional
follow up on the complexity of adding another agency.He wanted to bring this back for a work session.

Stewart agreed to have staff obtain more information to bring this back.

Spartz preferred to keep this simple.

Stewart wanted to know what the added cost would be.He indicated that it has been explained that staff is already taxed and
this would be additional work. He wanted to make sure if the Board moves forward
with this they donít lose volunteerism.

There being no further business, Commissioner Fleenor recessed the meeting at
12:20 p.m.
